. . . . . . ....

The sun was setting
in the west..
The birds were singing
on ev'ry tree
All nature seemed
inclined for to rest
But still there was
no rest for me...

. . Farewell to Nova Scotia
you sea bound coast..
Let your mountains dark
and dreary be...
. . For when I am far away
on the briney ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh
or a wish for me?...

. . . The drums do beat
and the wars do alarm...
My Captain calls
I must obey..
So farewell, farewell
to Nova Scotia's charm
For it's early in the morning
I'll be far, far away...

. . . Farewell to Nova Scotia
you sea bound coast..
Let your mountains dark
and dreary be...
For when I am far away
on the briney ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh
or a wish for me?...

. . . I grieve to leave my native land
I grieve to leave my comrades all
And my parents whom I held so dear
And my bonny, bonny lassie
that I loved so well...

. . Farewell to Nova Scotia
you sea bound coast..
Let your mountains dark
and dreary be...
For when I am far away
on the briney ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh
or a wish for me?...

. . . I have three brothers
and they are at rest..
Their arms are folded
on their breasts...
But a poor and simple sailor
just like me..
Must be tossed and driven
on the dark, blue sea...

. . . Farewell to Nova Scotia
you sea bound coast..
Let your mountains dark
and dreary be...
For when I am far away
on the briney ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh
or a wish for me?...

. . . Will you ever heave a sigh
or a wish for me?...
